Virtual Sand Castles

When it comes to birthdays and holidays and I know I’m not going to be around, I typically enjoy sending e-cards to friends and family. Yes, the bulk of the time some may find these cards to be annoying but my family sends them back and forth to each other excessively so naturally I’m always looking for a new and better site to send the cards from, that’s when I came across virtualsandcastle.com. Yes, you can literally build and send Sandcastles to your family and friends on their special day – cool huh?

I played around with the site for a little while, yes it’s completely free, you even get to play with a beach-ball while it’s saving. It’s really simple, you select the “Build a Sandcastle” icon and then start playing around with the different designs, changing the colors, adding accessories and a plethora of other options. Once you’ve gotten it to where you want it, you go ahead and click on the save icon and then while it’s capturing the image you’ve created, you can bounce a ball around with your mouse to keep you entertained. I thought it was a lot of fun, it’s a very simple process though. You can choose to save it as a wallpaper, send it to a friend, or just disregard it and move on. I saved it as a wallpaper. It’s a little bit pixellized for my taste but either way I’ll send her the link and have her play around with it for a little while.

Maybe you can have some fun with it as well, just head over to virtualsandcastle.com.
